Bass is commonly referred to as the “foundation instrument to every song”. Not only do drummers listen to the bass to play the perfect “groove”, but the bass leads vocalists to sing the correct pitches. The bass is an important instrument in every band and requires extensive knowledge of music theory, technique, and rhythm. At Spicer’s Music, we teach both bass guitar and double bass (upright bass).
Whether you are learning bass to jam with friends, play in a band, play in church, or audition for an orchestra, our professional bass instructors will tailor the lessons to achieve your specific goals. We can get you rocking on a 4 string, 5 string, or 6 string bass, as well as classically bowed or bluegrass plucked double bass!
